Parrotfish dem Dance

Lured by the adventure and challenges of working on an offshore cay development project, environmental engineer Paul and his wife Kristan relocate to the fictional eastern Caribbean island of Turtle Cay. As they get settled, Paul and Kristan meet Quinn, a capable sea captain and contractor, who soon entrusts the couple with a long-held personal secret he cannot share even with his wife Dom. Paul's narration of the story enables readers to accompany him on a personal journey that carries him gently and hearfully past long-held comfort zones and resistances surrounding alternative lifestyles.

Constant challenges confront Paul around his work on Hermit Cay, principally involving an unscrupulous developer who's allowing devastating impacts to the gorgeous island and its surrounding waters. Paul's every effort to prevent destruction is thwarted as he begins discovering misdeeds and nefarious dealings between the developer and the local government. With Quinn's help, he resorts to behind-the-scene measures for halting the onslaught.

Parrotfish dem Dance is both a fictionalized exposé of corrupt government officials, their program heads and private sector cronies, and a tribute to hard-working locals relentlessly impacted by the corruption.
